The EMER for the Gun tank say 810 BHP at 2800 RPM and 1580 FtLbs torque at 2000 RPM. It is interesting that a Meteor has quite a lot of grunt at idling. The Conqueror ARV will neutral steer with the engine idling. The REME museum's Cent ARV has rubber pads on track and so will generally require a touch of throttle to neutral on tarmac.
The cylinder heads on the M120 and the Meteorite are very different from a IVB with its more direct Merlin ancestry. As for he exhaust ports, they are different but I have no idea if they are better or not.

Just thought some of you Bedford lovers might like to see a few pics of a bus I have been working on, its been converted into a mobile home, complete with a mollycroft roof Its now just about done just waiting on a few minor parts and some stencils.

Unfortunately I have been busy with other things so not much progress.
I popped over to Newark military expo on Sunday with Alastair and court up with a lot of people but was a bit disappointed with what was there and didn't manage to buy anything.
I got some more parts off Alistair on the way back and some more measurements including a rear corner upright for the engine cover so I can make a pair.
Sunday afternoon I did manage to get the second set of bogie springs out of the molasses and cleaned up and primed and a 3rd set back in.
I now have a couple jobs for Alastair to do and some parts to make for another new Loyd project that will go a long way towards paying for the brake cables.
